I have some bulbils of a hardneck variety called Floha. It's a German porcelain hard-necked variety. Would anyone like some bulbils? Please say if you would and I'll just divide them between any who think they would like to grow them on.

I have also offered the chill pepper Champion (CAP 334). My seed supply is a bit limited so again I'd like for anyone to opt in and just say if you'd like a few seeds to give it a go. It would need cover to ripen in time and the plants are on the big side. But they produce lovely bell-shaped chillis. A good opportunity for one of my favourite photos! I do like plant photos as you might have noticed!

I find online browsing just as good and soul therapy for grey days.  Loved the Vital seeds catalogue.

Plants of Distinction and especially Chilterns Seeds do wonderful catalogues, bright floral photography to get you through the cold dark days of winter.

Thanks for the link, Ruud. Chang Li does look interesting as Vetivert says.
It was actually the next two I meant to ask about which you picked up without names. It would be good to have some pointers if you can either remember what the tomatoes were like or, if you have grown them already, what their growth habits were.

We're into November already. I hope everyone is successfully drying, sorting and packeting this year's gatherings. I've made a mistake with the two mangetout varieties I mentioned, Golden Sweet and Bijou,and forgot to keep enough back. Instead I'll contribute Rosakrone which has lovely pink flowers on fasciated stems which produce an  umbellatum cluster of flowers and smallish pods at about five feet. The seed was originally from Real Seeds. I also have Sutton's Achievement which I was originally an HSL seed guardian for in 2020. It's a good climbing podding pea.

They look very nice, ruud. Not many Chinese tomatoes going around!

Is this the correct description for Candy's Old Yellow? I seed Candy's Stripes is a synonym, apparently.
